3 Martha Street, South Fremantle, WA 6162

Discover a storybook cottage where history and modern luxury intertwine.

Welcome to 3 Martha Street - a hidden gem nestled between Lilly and Hampton, eagerly waiting for the next chapter to be written!

Originally transported from Margaret River in 1970, this beloved home has undergone a magnificent transformation under its current owners' thoughtful stewardship. What began as a quaint cottage has grown into a light-filled family sanctuary that preserves its historic charm while offering all the space and amenities today's families desire.

The enchanting 1909 fa?ade, with its traditional porch and welcoming entrance, sets the stage for what lies within.

Through the original front door, a graceful central hallway unfolds, adorned with elegant pendant lighting and exquisite timber fretwork. The home's historic soul shines through in its pristine jarrah floors, its high ceilings and ornate ceiling roses, and authentic lathe and plaster walls.

The heritage wing hosts three bedrooms, each telling its own story. To the left, an intimate bedroom with a character fireplace offers versatility as a home office, study, or a sweet nursery. It also has access to an attic for additional storage of all those items you just can't throw away. Across the hall, the generous original primary bedroom features built-in robes, and both of these rooms are flooded with northern light. A third double bedroom at the end of the corridor is also light filled from the west, with built in robes.

At the heart of the home, the former formal lounge has been reimagined as a cozy retreat. Complete with a decorative fireplace, this versatile space beckons as a media room, music sanctuary, reading haven, or cherished playroom. From here you enter into the modern addition. The transition from old to new is masterfully executed through elegant double glass doors, revealing a stunning open-plan living zone that celebrates modern family life. Here, the owners have paid homage to the home's 1970s chapter with a distinctive retro roofline, while maintaining the warmth of continuous jarrah flooring.

The contemporary heart of the home features a gourmet kitchen with luxurious granite benchtops, hugging the eastern wall to maximize social space. A thoughtful shopper's entrance provides direct access from the driveway through the well-appointed laundry. The expansive kitchen offers abundant bench space, welcoming both seasoned chefs and budding cooks.

Glass bifold doors frame lush garden views, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The family wing includes a well-appointed main bathroom and a private primary retreat that easily fits a king size bed, complete with a generous ensuite and peaceful garden outlook through large windows and a glazed door.

This remarkable home stands as a testament to thoughtful renovation, where every modern comfort has been carefully woven into its historic fabric, creating a sanctuary that honors the past while embracing contemporary family living.

The outdoor spaces of this home are a true masterpiece of versatile family living. A picturesque front yard creates instant curb appeal, while the practical paved parking area accommodates two vehicles with additional secure space behind the electric gate for family bikes, motorcycles or the beloved Vespa.

The north-facing front deck could become the site of your new morning ritual, perfect for sipping a coffee as you take in the friendly neighborhood atmosphere and peaceful, tree-lined street.

The rear garden is a secluded oasis designed for both family enjoyment and private relaxation. Mature trees create a natural canopy, offering the perfect blend of sun and shade throughout the seasons. A generous paved entertaining area spills off the living zone through bifold doors and provides the ideal setting for alfresco dining and year-round BBQs, while the elevated lawn area adds dimension and charm to the space.

Children's imaginations will soar in their very own tree fort, creating magical memories for years to come. The whimsical ivy-covered garden shed adds a touch of storybook charm. Throughout the garden, intimate seating nooks have been cleverly positioned, allowing parents to relax while keeping a watchful eye on playing children.

Fully secured and beautifully landscaped, this garden paradise also serves as a safe haven for four-legged family members, truly completing the picture of an ideal family home where indoor comfort extends seamlessly to outdoor living.

Home is where the heart is but your new lifestyle awaits just around the corner with an delightful selection of dining destinations just moments away. Start your weekends with a leisurely stroll to brunch at local favorites like Roasting Warehouse, Little Lefroys, or Ootong & Lincoln. As evening falls, the iconic Rocco's Pizza, trendy Percy Flint, and the historic Local Hotel offer diverse dining and entertainment options, all within easy walking distance.

For beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, South Beach's pristine shores and dog-friendly sands are just a 15-minute walk from your doorstep. The vibrant heart of Fremantle is a casual 20-minute walk away, while convenient public transport along Hampton Road connects you to the city, with buses to Fremantle station running every four minutes.
